You the one I wanna be next to Hope you don't mind when I text you

She never meant to fall for someone like him. He reminded her too much of her brother - too deep in the streets, too lost in the life she promised she'd stay out of. But between the silence of her private school halls and the chaos of her block, he was the only one who made her feel seen. Two worlds, one heart... and a love that could cost her everything.

NOT DONE!!!! She knows exactly how to get under his skin. He acts annoyed, irritated, even tries to push her away... but he can't. The messages keep coming. The calls don't stop. Boundaries get tested, teasing turns into flirting, and suddenly neither of them can stay away. Fast, messy, and addictive - two people who shouldn't, but can't resist, all leading up to the moment they finally find out who the other really is.

Their bond runs deep, built on shared struggles, laughs, and a quiet kind of loyalty that doesn't always need words. Chanel's in love for real-she sees a future with him and wants to make things official, not just for her, but for the family they've already started. Kareem feels it too. He loves her more than he lets on, and deep down, he wants the same thing. But he's holding back-not because he doesn't want her, but because his heart's caught on the dream of having a daughter with her. It's like he's waiting for the picture to be complete before he fully steps in. He's scared, not of commitment, but of not being enough, of messing up something that already means everything to him. Still, the way he looks at Chanel? You can tell-he already sees her as home.
